Soldier Mountain first opened in 1948 with a rope tow. Since then we have added two chairlifts (one in 1971 and one in 1974) and replaced our rope tow with a handle tow on our beginner slope. Soldier Mountain has a base elevation of 5,752 ft. and a top elevation of 7,177 ft. for a total vertical rise of 1,425 ft. covering 1150 acres of variable terrain including glades, bowls, and tree skiing. In addition Soldier Mountain has over 15 runs regularly groomed with the best grooming you will find in the Northwest. When you need a break we have a full service cafeteria style restaurant and lounge serving beer, wine, and good times.
